WORLDS LIVE WEBCAST!

Danny, poor busy Danny, we've been talking about this since yesterday. Now we're trying to get a Worlds Weekend party together. Too cool!

Danny · Senior Member

Uhhhhh yaaaa. I guess I have been that busy.

Well...look for me Tam. I'm gonna jump in front of the camera at around 11:00am. 8 WC time :P

You can now go to USASF and signup for the Webcast. I think it really stinks they aren't offering Sunday finals for Cheer. So on Saturday all we will get to see are the teams in prelims.

Yet they offer both days for Dance!

(loud footstomping now going on. Do you hear it?)

Beggers can't be choosers, as my mother says. At least prelims will be up. It is a bummer that you will not see the teams on Sunday.

If it were free I'd say that were true (beggers/choosers). But it cost $10, just to see prelims. It would be nice to offer finals as well. The teams with fully paid bids don't even perform in the prelims, right? It'll just be the many teams that received at large. It is nice though for family members and friends who can't make the trip out, if your team is one of them performing on Saturday.

They could make some money if they offered both days, like maybe $10 for Saturday, $15 for Sunday, $20 both days? I would pay $15 for Sunday easily and would consider doing both days. Paying $15 to see the finals of the best our sport has to offer would be well worth it IMO. I wonder if USASF takes suggestions?

We can't even watch Motions then huh? That sucks. Or Power or CA. That really stinks.

That's right! Why can't we just see everything?

Tamara · cheergyms.com Master Poster

Now most my excitement has been lost, but we'd still get to see Pyramids, Fierce and some other California teams, right? I really wanted to see everyone!

I wanted to see my kid brothers at their last competition with Motions! Its the last of the McCarthy kids there!

AbbyByTheBay · Senior Member

I added a suggestion to my previous post -- maybe we could all put in requests to USASF? If they can do it for dance, why not cheer??

1. Pyramids and Fierce's bids are now partials which means that they automatically advance to finals.

2. Partial and Paid bid teams who are automatically in finals still perform on day 1. However, most of those teams usually water down their skills to avoid injury.

AbbyByTheBay · Senior Member

Sorry about that, I thought if you advanced to finals you didn't have to perform on day 1 (since it doesn't count for anything anyway). So you still get to see them, but most likely not the full routine they'll use on Sunday, huh?

Tamara · cheergyms.com Master Poster

So let me see if I got this straight. I will be able to still see all the teams, but for those that have Paid and Paritals I will probably only see watered down versions. Yes? That's better than not seeing them at all.

Worlds Watcher · GURU

Day 1 all of the At Large teams HAVE to compete, at least 50% of those teams will advance to finals. The Partial Paid and Full Paid bid teams will do "practice run throughs" on Saturday. Usually they don't wear their uniforms and don't do full out routines. At least that is how it was done last year. If you look at the schedule you will see the times for "finalists on stage rehearsals".

Tamara · cheergyms.com Master Poster

So, if you pay to watch the stream, it's probably only going to be the prelims that you watch, especially since the prelims and stage rehearsals overlap, correct?

Worlds Watcher · GURU

Prelims and Rehearsals are all on the same stage/floor. So if they are offering WebCast all day, I would assume it will include Rehearsals.

Tamara · cheergyms.com Master Poster

Ohhhh okay. So we will see a full-out uniformed team then a possible watered down t-shirt and shorts routine?

if only it was free. i don't thing ill pay 10$ for the prelims.
